A mid-morning fire left an Abita Springs apartment heavily damaged, authorities said. No one was injured.

Firefighters responding to a report of a table on fire inside a second-floor apartment at the Abita East Apartments at 20516 Louisiana 36 found that the fire had spread from the table and into a kitchen wall, 8th District Fire Chief Eric Givens said.

Firefighters tore into the wall to put out the flames and keep the fire from spreading to the attic, Givens said. The occupants inside the apartment were able to get out unharmed, but the apartment is uninhabitable, he said.

"There's more smoke damage than anything. The fire was contained to the room of origin, Givens said.

Givens said firefighters from the 8th and 4th districts responded and had the blaze under control in 30 minutes. The cause of the fire was not immediately known, he said.
